Nairobi City Stadium will get a new artificial turf by next month courtesy of the county government. “After the refurbishment of Dandora Stadium which is set to be unveiled next month, we have decided to give city stadium a major facelift, following a major outcry from football lovers who kept asking questions about City Stadium,” said Nyangi. Stadia Safety and Security Committee banned City Stadium, commonly known as “Tok Komwanda” from hosting matches in 2016 until it meets the required minimum standards. SSCC chairman Laban Jobita said the artificial turf is worn out due to maintenance. The current artificial turf at the stadium was installed in 2008 by the world’s body Fifa.
